Together since Eisenhower
Yesterday: San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom marries the hand-holding couple Phyllis Lyon, 84, left, and Del Martin at City Hall. Lyon and Martin's private ceremony in Newsom's office marked a triumph of love, endurance and a pioneering commitment to gay rights spanning five decades. Now in their 80s, the couple had their initial kiss when Dwight D. Eisenhower was president.
